Understanding Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD)
Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term progressive condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste products and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. CKD develops slowly over months or years and may eventually progress to kidney failure if untreated. Diabetes and high blood pressure are among the most common causes worldwide.

Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is a long-term progressive condition in which the kidneys gradually lose their ability to filter waste products and maintain fluid and electrolyte balance. CKD develops slowly over months or years and may eventually progress to kidney failure if untreated. Diabetes and high blood pressure are among the most common causes worldwide.
